The Cleveland Browns

The Browns’ record

The Browns hold the distinction of being the only team in NFL history to have gone 0-16 in a season, which they did in 2017. They also went 1-15 in 2016 and 2-14 in 2015. In fact, over the last six seasons, the Browns have won just nine games total.

The Browns’ worst season

In 2017, the Browns went 0-16, becoming the second team in NFL history to lose all 16 games in a season. It was also the franchise’s worst season in terms of wins and losses. The Browns had a chance to avoid going winless in their final game, but they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-24.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been around since the 1970s and have never won a Super Bowl. In fact, they are the only team in the NFL to have never even made it to the big game. They have had some good seasons, but more often than not they have been one of the worst teams in the league.

The Buccaneers’ record

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the dubious distinction of being the most losing team in NFL history. They have an overall record of 131-232-1, a winning percentage of .363, and have only been to the playoffs ten times in their forty-three year history. In those ten playoff appearances, they have only won one game.

Their worst season came in 1977, when they went 0-14. That remains the worst record for any team in a sixteen-game season. They also hold the record for the longest losing streak in NFL history, having lost 26 straight games from December 30, 1976 to December 11, 1977. In that span, they were outscored by their opponents 1,082-362.

Despite their struggles on the field, the Buccaneers have had some success off it. They are currently valued at $2 billion, making them the ninth most valuable franchise in the NFL. They also have some of the most loyal fans in the league, as evidenced by their 95%+ attendance rate at home games over the last decade.

The Buccaneers’ worst season

The Buccaneers had the worst season in NFL history in 1976, when they went 0-14. They were outscored by a total of 471 points, the most of any team in a 16-game season.

The Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have been the most losing team in NFL history. They have had only two winning seasons since 1957. In the past 63 years, they have had only four seasons with a winning record. The Lions have been to the playoffs only ten times in their history, and they have never won a playoff game.

The Lions’ record

The Detroit Lions are one of the most losing teams in NFL history. They have a record of 9-27-1 over the past three seasons, and haven’t had a winning record since 1995. But despite their struggles, the Lions have been competitive in recent years, and have even made the playoffs twice in the past decade.

The Lions’ worst season

In 2008, the Lions became the first team to finish a season 0-16. The team had been in a tailspin for years — they hadn’t had a winning season since 2000, and their head coach, Rod Marinelli, had only won nine games in three seasons.

The 2008 Lions were particularly bad on defense, allowing a league-worst 623 points. They also set an NFL record for most rushing yards allowed in a season, giving up an astounding 269 yards per game on the ground.

To make matters worse, the Lions’ offense wasn’t much better than their defense. They ranked 29th in the league in points scored, and their leading rusher only managed 3 touchdowns all season.

At the end of the year, Marinelli was fired and replaced by Jim Schwartz. The Lions became slightly more respectable under Schwartz, but they never came close to capturing a Super Bowl.
